Idiot environmentalist whackos only create problems. They can’t solve any.
The liberals believe in only two kinds of power, wind and solar. So why not just install solar panels on these discarded turbine blades? Simple, eh?
J/k
But . . but . . Joe Biden said “green energy” is beautiful and will bring many wonderful high paying jobs. Landfilled turbine blades are not beautiful nor are unused acres of farmland with huge concrete windmill bases that power companies leave behind.
And when future archeologists excavate they will say this is where the idiot tribe lived.
It’s worse than that. they are supposed to last 50 years. They last 20.
Why don’t we just subsidize the companies who bury these things? Add the oversight of a government agency (DOE or BLM spring to mind) and there you have it! Problem solved.
GEORGE CARLIN:
“The Earth doesnt share our prejudice towards plastic. Plastic came out of the Earth! The Earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the Earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place: it wanted plastic for itself, didnt know how to make it, needed us.”
If only one could fashion them into Homeless shelters...
Cut holes in them and bury them upright in the ground so spotted owls can nest in them.
Never could figure out the environmental wackos and wind mills....
I can see sticking them some where no one sees them..
Drive down the Columbia River and look at the Washington side and you see ugly windmills...why not stick them back so you cannot see them..then California there
are a bunch near Palm Desert or somewhere there and are they ugly

Thats not a bad idea. But Im concerned that the semi-buried blades might disturb some species of snail. So Im going to apply for a large federal grant to study the problem.
(”Price is right” fail sound effect)
Wait till the solar panels hit the dumps.
They can extract the minerals from used solar panels nowadays. But those wind turbine blades....
There are no free lunches. Just as much pollution is created in mining and refining the minerals used in the fabrication of windmills, as in conventional ways of generating electric power.
It looks like you're my competition.
I was thinking of chopping them up and introducing a new breakfast cereal.
Well landfills do need fill...
I suspect wind power is all about crony land deals and nothing else. Left is just a bunch of useful idiots. It’s hard to imagine these make any economic sense when you consider the wattage per acre and maintenance unless the government is handing out free money.
